Sugar Tree Golf & Country Club
The golf : Fort Worth area golfers know about
Sugar Tree, but unfortunately the news hasn’t spread much
further about this must-play golfing gem laid out on the banks of
the Brazos River. Built by Phil Lumsden on his ranch, this is a
course easy to fall in love with because of its unique character
and small-town charm. Every hole is memorable, with magnificent
old oak trees, 55 bunkers in play, water in play on most of the
holes, lots of interesting blind golf shots, and quality, average-size
greens that putt true.
No. 1 is one of the better holes, a challenging, 402-yard par
4 with a creek along the left that cuts in front of the green. Hole
5 also stands out on the front, highlighted by the trees in the
center of the fairway–you’ll need to pay attention to
your tee shot on this long par 5.
On the back the signature 210-yard No. 12 features a creek that
runs from the left of the tee across the fairway, with a neat-looking
water wheel by the green providing some country charm. On the 15th,
Lumsden’s old barn is next to the fairway, another example
of Sugar Tree’s rugged character.
